"We took advantage of the LADWP turf removal rebate and we LOVE our new landscaping!
First- I want to say my husband was all gung ho about the rebate and removal, however , I was very hesitant and anxious and not sure we were doing the right thing because I really loved the grass.
After a serendipitous meeting with Dennis at a Resource fair,  checking his
referrals and visiting other sites he worked on , we finally went ahead
with it. We had a shoe string budget and his bid was fair and
reasonable-even with changes we made along the way.
He submitted the rebate for us and we started the week after approval notification.
He knows what is needed for the pictures and work to be done.
Dennis has a great aesthetic sense and really understood our concerns and
listened to our desires. It was an evolving project as we had a few
different ideas and changed a bit of the plans along the way and his
suggestions were terrific .  
He has so much passion and vision and really cared that we were happy as the job went along.
Basically, he held my hand every step of the way- as I had so many concerns and
fears that it wasn't going to be something I would really like- but it
went very smoothly.  We touched base often as the work continued and
always got back to me when I contacted him. And he was very flexible !
His crew were great guys, considerate, respectful, always on time and
always cleaned up after the day's work. Always so friendly and such hard
workers.
We visited a garden center with Dennis and  went over
the plants we really liked so he had a really good feel for what we
wanted -He was very knowledgeable
about the plants that would and would not work for our space. - and then we let him create.
And create he did!  
He used drought tolerant plants, flagstones, gravel, decomposed granite,
mulch, broken concrete as I love seeing different textures and
materials.
We loved working with Dennis to create a beautiful
back yard!  We're so thankful to him and glad it's over - now time for
entertaining!

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Manhattan Beach, CA

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
